The Skin-Clad Esnuinan.

The Esquimau clothing of all the tribes
from the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean is
reindeer skin in some form or another as
component part, and with most of them il
predominates over all other furs used
Among those visited on my first expedi-
ton among those strange people in and
around North Hudson's Bay the clothing
was wholly made of reindeer, not hair of
any other skin appearing in the compost
ton. The coat, the underskirt the nit
tens, the trousers, the boots, the stockings
and the slippers are all made of reindeer
skin. They are sewed with sinew stripped
from the dorsal muscles on the back of the
same animal, while even the pickering
strings that draw the face Of the hood
tighter around the face and keep the trou-
sers up and around the waist. or the stock
ings above the knee and the slippers about
the ankle, are all made Of the coarse sinew
from the hamstriDgs OF the reindeer legs.
As the hood is drawn tightly around the
face from the eyebrows 10 the chin, with
only the mouth, nose and eyes in sight, it
may be truly said that forty-nine fiftieths of
the object in sight is reindeer and one-.if-
tieth Esquimau.
Throughout, the Es9uimau has a double
suit of his reindeer clothing. except upon
the hands. where the mitten is seldom du-

1t PAYS to Grow the Best.

VIII it pay to raise anything but the
best? Does it pay to go on year after year
cultivatiDg and using inferior fruits when
it is Just as easy and much more profitable
to raise the best? The best is good enough
for any one, and nothing but the best is
good enough. In saying the best we mean
the best the climate, the soil and the cir
cumstances surrounding one will enable
one to raise. The fruit that will be the best
for one may not be the best for another;
there is, in other words, no absolute best
one that in all places and all circumstances
is the best-but there is something better
in all classes of fruits than the varieties our
fathers raised. Especially is this true of
apples, currants and berries In some
States varieties were grown years ago that,
unless boys love for apples has deceived
us, have not been eXcelled but these are
few in number and limited in area. In the
newer States of the Mississippi Valley new
fruit adapted to the conditions of climate
and soil had to be found. Many of the
standard sorts could not be grown with
success, and new varieties We're introduced
1t goes without saying that the varieties
have been improved wonderfully in the
years of trial. He who clings to the old
sorts is making serious mistake. In cur
rants there is such an improvement that
the old sorts and the new ones are like en-
tirely different fruits. The improvement
is not only in size but in bearing qualities
and flavor of the berry. Currants are so
cheap that no one should cling TO the old
sorts simply because he has them. The
new ones should be set, and, when
grown, take the place OF the old ones This
is also true of most of the berries. In the
raspberries there is no comparison between
the new and old sorts. There is no reason
why any one should not have all the fruit
he wants in the garden, and in sufficient
variety and quantity to last the season
through, and that of the best varieties
raised.=FdrnlerS BudGet

Lemons for Malaria

The newest remedy for malaria is adj
vertlsed III the drug stores as the Roman
cure. 1t is described as the discovery of a
physician in the miasmatic old CITY of the
Caesars and the pontiffs, where malaria is
included with every lodging without extra
charge in the bill. Ii consists simply of
lemons cut up peel and all, and boiled, the
juice being taken cold on an empty stom-
ach. The pharmacists claim that it has
cured cases so stubborn that quinine had
no more effect upon them than sugar or
salt. The method of preparation is so
simple that any one can make an expert
ment who chooses.
The lemon must be cut in small pieces,
rind and pulp, each good-sized lemon being
allowed a pint of water. When the water
has boiled down to half a pint the medi
cine is done. II must be strained through
q cloth and put by to cool. 1t is sour
enough to give marble bust a wry face.
The dose is from 4 tesspoonf1l according
to the staying qualities Of patents
stomach taken about an hour before meals.
Like The hot water cure, wonderful
stories are beginning to float around about
the lemon cure, and bids fair to become
very popular. A physician. who is mem
Der of and has many patients in the New
York Athletic Club, informed the NetrS re-
porter that he had been giving concentrated
doses of lemon in malaria cases for nearly
year. and now seldom used quinine The
new remedy does all the work of quinine
without effecting the nerves or head, as
quinine certainly does.-Erchdnge.

tive's body. while the outer one has the hair
turned outward. This brings the dressed
skinned surfaces together, and makes it
quite easy to put on or take off the outer
suit, which would be almost impossible if
the two hair surfaces were together, and
quite hard enough if a skin surface rubbed
against one of fur. Some of these inside
garments are nothing more or less than the
equivalent of the outside ones, turned IL
side out, this being especially true of the
coat and trousers. In fact, by thus revers-
ing them they are often used as substitutes
for each other, the only difference being
that the inside clothing is generally made
of softer fur, when procurable, such as the
doeskins secured in the earlier part Of the
season. The softest reindeer fur which
they can procure, or that of the fawn SKINS
taken just after the winter coat has been
assumed, is nearly always used in making
the clothing for their little children, to
whom they are devotedly attached and
who receive the best their parents can give
them in food, clothing, and every other
family material that is divided among
them.-Lieia. Schoatka in the Independent.

Remedies for the Goblin Moth.

James O'Neil. of Haywards, writes as
follows to the Rural Press, concerning the
above subject:
would like to give two remedies for the
Goblin moth, and if used as directed, am
sure it will clear an orchard of those pests.
l have used them both in Pennsylvania,
and they will work fully as well in Cali
fornia.
The first is: One tablespoonful of Paris
green to two gallons of water Cor about one
pound of the same to 40 gallons of water
1t is best to use the small quantities as they
can be mixed better. The trees want to be
sprayed when the fruit is set and about the
size of a pea, and before the calyx turns
down. The wash is perfectly harmless. as
the growth of the fruit and the winds
throw it off before the fruit is ripe. 1t
will prove of very little use if used at any
other time than above stated, and one APP
plication is enough.
The other remedy is to make strong
solution of tobacco water, and to every five
gallons add one-fourth pound of whale-oil
soap, and after spraying the fruit and
foliage, wash the trunk to the ground.
After the last rains paint the trunk with
solution of COW manure and sulphur mixed
in the tobacco water. This serves as pre-
ventiye in keeping the larvae from climbing
up the tree. This latter remedy is as good
as Paris green, if used as directed.
The method for making tobacco water is
t. put the stems into a sack and pour boil
ing water on and let it stand in barrel
for few days before squeezing out.

herself and her friends to make her sur

UNsHoD HoRsEs.-P II. Fagin, furni-
ture and piano-mover at Maiden, Mass
gives his experience with barefooted horses
He has driven three horses two weighing
LOO pounds each and one 1900 polnds)
since January, 1885, without shoes. The
large horse has always been lame since he
bought him fourteen years ago, until he
took his shoes off. The animal has not
gone lame since. He has driven on hard,
flint roads, and, Of course, on pavements
in Boston. The horses travel better than
before their shoes were taken off They
are not afraid on slippery pavement as they
were with shoes on. and there is no trouble
in getting round on any kind of going in
the city. Mr.. Fagin drove to Shrewsbury,
thirty-tive miles from Maiden, after two
days rain, in February, 1855, when it was
so icy that boy could skate all the way,
and had no trouble. He left home at Z
a. NJ, arrived at Shrewsbury ct $40 p. NJ i,
and the horses did not slip. The hoof is
hard and broad. and the frog is full and
plump and on a level. They have driven
two winters on ice and snow altogether
better than when they were shod. Their
feet are better for all purposes, they can
trot faster, pull IS much and go more miles
in the same time than they could when
shod.-Bostou Herald.

THE GOLD STANDARD A writer in John
Swintons paper, after very careful investi-
cation, reaches the conclusion that during
the last year 400, 900 people remained with
out employment from previous years, and
that 100000 agricultural laborers fell out of
employment, as did 200, 0G0 clerks, servants
and domestic laborers, while of manfactur-
ing and mining laborers, those who lost
their occupation were at least 900 co., This
makes in all total of 1000 600 of people
capable OF useful industry who in 1850, by
causes beyond their own control, were kept
in a state of idleness or its equivalent
The New York Sun makes this comment
on these figures There can be no ques-
ton that the army of the unemployed in
this country has now assumed enormous
proportions, and there is no present pros
pect that it will be much diminished. The
cause, which in every part of the world
has brought about such condition of
things, still remains in operation, and we
can see no reason why it should be inter
rupted. The cause is, in our Judgment
the maintenance of the gold standard of
money. There is no doubt that new dis
covery of gold. such as that which occurred
in California and Australia in 1913 40
would put an end to this suffering and re-
store prosperity. But can such miracle
be expected"

WHY THE NIGHTINGALE SISGs.-The
Westphalians have curious explanatory
myth regarding the nightingale. They inn
agine that the birds song may be rendered
in these syllables of human speech Is tit,
is tit. is tit, to wit. to wit-Trizy Trizy,
Trizy, to bucbt, to bucht, to bucht But the
last syllables are the usual shepherds cry
to his dog when he wishes the sheep col
lected. Therefore Trizy must be the name
of the dog 10 whom the cry to bucht is
addressed. Therefore the nightingale
must have been a shepherdess. whom a
shepherd cursed because she always
postponed the marriage she had promised.
He uttered the wish that she might not
sleep till the day of judgment. Nor does
she, for may not here voice still be heard at
night as she cries to bucht to bucht, to
bucht to her good dog Trizy? The same
people give a strange explanation of the
face of the shard, or founder, which is all
awry. with its eyes on one side of its face
instead of being straight, like the eyes of
most other fish. Originally its face was a
straight and sensible fish face, but one day
it insulted a passing herring and made
hooking face at it. for which. as punish
ment, il was never able 10 draw lis face
